Cyr3con

CYR3CON, Inc. (also known as CYRECON) specialises in identifying cyber-threats in the earliest stages. CYR3CON leverage both human analysts and advanced machine learning capabilities to search portions of the internet where malicious hackers organise, plan, purchase malware, sell exploits, and conduct other activities prior to conducting a cyber-attack. Its underlying algorithms then predict potential threats.

CYRECON provides a platform for social threat intelligence (STI) on the latest cyber threats enabling CSO's to better understand the threat landscape, gain knowledge about malicious hacker behaviour, and identify emerging attacks against the enterprise

In July 2020 CYR3CON raised $8.2m of funding led by Pivotal Ventures. The company stated the funding would be used to scale the prediction platform, expanding use cases beyond vulnerability management to include application security, security operations, support for enterprise cyber insurance underwriting, and risk management for private equity or venture funds.

At the time of the announcement, CEO Dr. Paulo Shakarian stated that the company had so far seen a 70% increase in ARR in 2020, and that YR3CON has submitted 9 patents in the past 12 months.
